Happy Resurrection Sunday {and Our Easter Brunch Menu}

I love Easter! Not only is it in the lovely season of spring, it represents all that makes life worthwhile--HE LIVES and because of that I can live in fullness of life, too. Not just in Heaven, but even here on earth. I'm so thankful for that!

As long as I can remember Easter has always been a "busy" day for me. I grew up in a minister's home so my dad was always preaching somewhere on Easter--whether as a guest minister or in the church he pastored for several years. Then I married and my husband and I have also been in ministry full-time for 14 of the 18 years we've been married--the past 4 years as senior pastors.

And the Easter weekend just gets busier. But it's a good kind of busy. Like today, we were at our church nearly all day for a fun event we like to call Easter Eggstravaganza. It's a fun day for our church to simply bless our community with free food, games, petting zoo, some fun giveaways, and an egg hunt for the kiddos. It is a blessing to me to see so many families come for a fun family time and go home with a smile on their face, some candy in their basket, and maybe even a desire to know Christ more.

However, by the end of the morning service on Easter Sunday the last thing I want to do is go wait in line at a restaurant--while my kids get tired and, dare I say, cranky. Personally, I love a family meal at home on Easter but sometimes that just not doable and I'm just not up for it.

But this year I'm giving it a go again ...in 'brunch' form. I talked my mom (who never wants to cook on a Sunday) and my sister into my plan, too :) And so I created a delicious make-ahead Easter brunch menu and, as I type this on Saturday evening, it is all finished and ready to take to my parents' for tomorrow's meal.
